This paper provides new information on insects (Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera) collected from common ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in the south of the Russian Far East (Primorskii Territory), their trophic relationships, and damage caused to the plant. Observations in stationary cages placed on ragweed have made it possible to identify the phytophagous species adapted to feeding and developing on this weed and damaging it: Apolygus lucorum (M.-D.) (development on ragweed from oviposition to imago), Eurydema dominulus (Scop.), Graphosoma rubrolineatum (Westw.), Palomena viridissima (Poda) (from instar IV or V larvae to imago) (Heteroptera); Chlorissa obliterata (Walk.), Ectropis excellens (Butl.), Phthonosema tendinosaria (Brem.), Mocis annetta (Butl.), and Helicoverpa armigera (Hbn.) (from late instar larvae to pupation or imago) (Lepidoptera).
